  • NCHC says no to Minnesota State and Arizona State

    NCHC says no expansion at this time. Apparently the Alaska schools played into this some?

    Things get interesting now for Arizona State.

    Schlossman is reporting that the Alaska thing played a part in this. If you're the NCHC, and you think the whole landscape of college hockey could blow up again soon, why lock yourself in?

      So I assume we've won the Arizona State sweepstakes by default?

        Bravo. Neither school was worthy enough to join the illustrious NCHC.

          Nothing further on how the Alaska schools played that part? Some seemingly obvious reasons but never know what the actual thinking could be.

            My guess: If the NCHC takes ASU and MSUM and then the Alaskas disappear, do WMU and Miami bolt back to the WCHA? They'd get way better travel.

            Instead, let the Alaska situation sort itself out and let ASU come up with something more than a vaporena* to play in.

              Is better travel enough enticement for WMU and Miami to go to a second tier conference? I wouldn't think so.

                Better travel, perhaps, but does anyone know exactly what the NCHC's exit fee is?

                  250k is the number if I remember right...
                  MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

                    are there signs of an imminent blow up?

                      That sounds more like the WCHA exit fee. Just saw gfmorris' post that according to that gas huffer from the GF Herald it's $1.5 mil for the NCHC. Ouch.

                        I believe it's significantly higher than that.

                          If (gigantic if) Miami and WMU wanted to leave the NCHC it wouldn't be to join the WCHA. Their first call would probably be to BG.

                            If Miami and WMU wanted to leave the NCHC, their only realistic league options would be to join the WCHA or join a re-established CCHA (which would consist of BG and many of the current WCHA teams). If the CCHA became a conference again, that very well could mean the end of the WCHA.

                              What if the WCHA expanded and split into an east and west, because the b1g is not taking any of you. You could have FSU, WMU, BGSU, Miami, Huntsville, and one more in the east. And then, say LSSU, Nmu, Tech, Mankato, maybe UAF, and one more in the west.
                              In any event I don't see it happening.
